HE death of Hon. Dwight Marcy of Rock vile on Saturday last, after brief illness, was startling news to the many friends to whom it had not been made known that he had, for short time previous, been in pre- carious state of health, which gave his attend ants serious concern as to results. Brights disease was the ailment, and it's work had been done quickly after it's development. MT. Marcy was born in Union in 1841. He graduated at Yale in 1863. Studied law with Hon. A P. Hyde, and located at Central Will lage. He was elected assistant clerk of the Conn. house of representatives in 1867, and in the two fo lowing years successively fl ed the offices of clerk of the house a. d of the senate. In 1868 he removed to Rockville and succeeded Hon. John Broadway as states attorney for Holland County. He soon re- tention to general practice, and had attained a high standing among the law CTS of eastern Connecticut He represented Vernon in the legislature in 1879 and 1880, and in the latter year was chosen speaker of the house, po- sition which he filled with dignity and honor.
 
 He had been favorably mentioned in several co ventions for the office of congressional representative, and in time this honor would have come to him, had he lived. His sudden death in the prime of life and with so much promise before him is sincerely lamented, not only among his immediate circ of friends and neighbors, but in the larger circ of those who had made his acquaintance in pub lie life and at the bar.
 Housekeepers will be wise to burn all paper or other packages alleged to contain samples of baking powder left at their doors. The contentsof these packages are not distinguishable from arsenlc, and be- ing accompanied by advertising circulars containing atrociously false statements as to their character, should be regarded a. positively dangerous Every houaekeeper can call to mind cases of fatal poisoning by arsenic being introduced into the household by similar surreptitious methods. ..
 Any reputable dealer will inform you that goods sampled from house to house are always of an inferior character, and en- tirely unreliable. i Manufacturers of first to dispose of them. f..I
 AAuAn anu AoA E 1eAoS oA Ofnn4nS powders have always been favorite articles for this sampling business. Their cost is less than four cents a pound, so that they yield an enormous profit, which enables their makers to give them away in large quantities, or accompany their sale with all kinds of presents.
 All baking powders that are sampled or sold with gifts may be put down as cheap lime, alum or adulterated goods, and will be avoided by all prudent honsekeepers.

THE COMING CONVENTION.

When we look about us and see
the power of other natiOnalities
and the influence they have in
the body politics we can but regret
the weakness of the negro and his
humiliation to the great political
parties that govern this country.
The National Convention of colored
men which is to be called soon
should shape such line of policy
that will benefit the entire colored
race throughout this country. 1t
can be seen that we are about to
be unloaded simply because some
of us dare to exercise our political
convictions. If there is any merit
or independence in the colored
man now is the time to demonstrate
it. We are told that our allegiance
is with the republican party, but
yet the leader of that party tells
us it is better for us to divide. We
sincerely hope that the democratic
party will make no mistake at its
next presidential convention.
We believe that President Cleve-
land can solve the negro problem
and eliminate the color line from
politics. There is no race of people
as obedient as our people, there is
no race more ready to forgive d
wrong. We are willing to forgive
and forget past brutalities against
our race and meet those who have
oppressed us upon equal grounds.
We know not what our convention
will do, but, whatever it does it
will be i'm the interest of our people
throughout the country, and especi-
ally in South.
